A nuclear power plant generates electricity based on the steam power process and therefore consists of the following four components: Combustion chamber, turbine, condenser and pump.

During the weeks to come we will examine various types of nuclear power plants and explain how the generation of electricity in those plants is possible.

This week we present the final thermal power plant type, the so-called combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration plant.

In this tutorial we will get to know another more efficient type of power plant using natural gas as a fuel.

Last week we finished the tutorial on electricity generation with the steam power process in coal-fired power plants. Now, we focus on another fossil energy carrier, natural gas, and its utilization in power plant technologies.

This tutorial on power plant technologies elaborates on approaches to deal with flue gases and how pollutants within those are reduced.

Today, our tutorial on power plant technology engages with coal-fired power plants and the utilization of respective combustion technologies.

This tutorial deals with the efficiency of the steam power process and explains the relevant context.
